We spend more time in our bedrooms than any other room in the house, therefore the bedroom should be the most relaxing and comforting room by design. A chaotic room will cause stress and anxiety levels to go up, and this does nothing for the sex drive.
As I mentioned in "Cheap Lovin for the spiritually inclined", creating a love nest is one of the cheapest and most romantic gifts you can give this Valentine's day. The key to the gift is the proper design of the room.
According to Feng Shui, proper bed alignment and the flow of energy within the bedroom are the two most important factors in being healthy, being well-rested, relationships, and romance. So what do you need to do to ensure good energy flow and great sex?
Feng Shui Tips for the bedroom from "Can't Sleep?, No Sex Drive?, No partner?:
1. Correct bed positioning is key: No backs to the door, no beds crossing entranceways.
2. Use bedroom for sleeping and lovemaking ONLY! Remove all computers and work related materials.
3. Electromagnetic energy fields can cause serious health and energy related problems- reduce electrical devices and move all TV's, clock radio's, answering machines, power strip outlets to at least six to eight feet from the circumference of the bed!
4. Add warm colors to your room- white or off white rooms can dissipate energy and cause anxiety and depression. Try adding soft greens, pinks, pastel colors. Blues are too cooling and NOT romantic! Peaches are great for finding a mate, but afterwards can encourage infidelity.
5. Make sure your bed has a headboard and is on a solid, windowless wall. Wood is preferable with no openings or slots. Double check that it's attached firmly to the bed otherwise you can create wobbly relationships and unstable emotions.
6. Eliminate clutter- A continually messy disorganized room is reflecting a deep unsettled inner conflict. Clear your room and your psyche. Don't hide behind the physical mess to avoid the emotional one buried beneath it.
7. Your bedroom is a metaphor for your mental, physical and spiritual well-being. If it could talk, what would it be saying it needs from you?
8. Your health and your relationships are central to your Happiness. Find a friend, hire an organizer or enlist the advice of Feng Shui expert. Do whatever is necessary to help you shake off your malaise, complacency or shell shocked behavior and turn your bedroom into the sacred space it was meant to be where naps are encouraged and love making thrives!
9. Take an active part in your own life's story. Make a commitment to making changes and take an action today. It's not going to happen magically, but when it happens, it will be magical!
For many of us we simply need to rearrange our room, or change the color a bit. This is cheap, easy, and well worth it to amp up your love life.
